Zechariah 1:8-10

Contemporary English Version

First Vision: Horses and Riders

^7-8 (A) On the twenty-fourth day of Shebat,^[a] which was the eleventh month of that same year,^[b] the Lord spoke to me in a vision during the night: In a valley among myrtle trees,^[c] I saw someone on a red horse, with riders on red, brown, and white horses behind him. ⁹ An angel was there to explain things to me, and I asked, “Sir, who are these riders?”

“I'll tell you,” the angel answered.

¹⁰ At once, the man standing among the myrtle trees said, “These are the ones the Lord has sent to find out what's happening on earth.”
